Amazing views - The knowledge from the balloon operator and the views from the sky were amazing! Strongly recommend but very weather dependent. First day it cancelled but they were able to get us on the next day.

Wonderful experience - We did the balloon safari yesterday. I think it was one of those experiences so incredible that explaining it in words won't do justice to the grandeur of the experience. It was simply incredible!! A perfect day !!! I think the photos speak for themselves

Fantastic Experience - The ballon flight was amazing. Got to see families of seveal species traveling though the park. After theflight we had the traditional chanpagnie at the landing sight then went to a resort hotel on the south side of the park for breakfast. Our lodge was at the north side of the park. Our driver took a scenic route though the park and managed to find several species that we hadn't seen on any of the three game drives we had before the flight

Great expereience - This was our first baloon trip. We were so excited that we had no time to think about the height. It was a very special atmoshere to arrive at the starting point, see the sunrise and the preparing of the baloons for lift off. We took a lot of photos and also the landing was perfect. The champagne reception at the end of the trip was great. We can only recommend this trip

DISRESPECTFUL - Mari and Cari had a great time? We'd love to hear more. WHAT TRIP you don't even know what is going on in your own business. Asking to share story on trip ...... There was NO TRIP Claimed weather problems on a CALM day no apologies. So much for once in a lifetime and a long anticipated bucket list item.

Unacceptable - We were supposed to do it the Tuesday 01/08/23 but they cancelled it the day before around 7 pm... telling us that the weather was not good (and I can ensure that the weather was very sunny and there was no wind on the 01/08/23). We had to insist and call them to try to get another slot (because they just send text messages telling that it is cancelled). Finally, it was good for the 02/08, they send an email to do the check-in for the activites. But, again, they cancelled it at 6 pm. With no explanation. We had to call them the day after to have details about the refund (and finally we had to do an email to Viator to get it because it was not done automatically). We are very disappointed. It is not acceptable when you pay 580€ for an activity.
